Niall Horan has been spending some time with his pals over the weekend, as he prepares to hit Europe with his One Direction bandmates and it seems that he’s getting ever closer to the gorgeous Laura Whitmore before his departure.

Only last week the 1D hunk posted pictures online of himself and a pal wearing the MTV presenter’s underwear on their heads and yesterday he and Laura hung out in Camden as he enjoyed a rare day off.

The ‘Kiss You’ hitmaker joined the blonde beauty and some other pals at The Lock Tavern in North London and the party moved to one of their homes later, where they enjoyed some late night karaoke.

Niall tweeted:

“We are wrecking karaoke1 #L.I.C ! Whitmore is on fire,” he tweeted at 10.30 last night.

Laura replied:

“Because i’m sweating in this sweat box! ”

Niall also shared a picture of himself and Whitmore wearing each other’s sunglasses with the caption:

“Last week I wore her underwear on my head, this week we swap sunglasses ! #hashtag”

Meanwhile, it seems that Irish model Zoe Whelan is less than happy this week and she’s been defending herself on Twitter once more.

The brunette beauty was linked to Nialler earlier this month, after it as reported that they had hooked up at a 1D gig in Manchester in March.

However, she tweeted yesterday that she wouldn’t be answering any more questions about her reported affair with the star and told followers:

“I’m not answerin any questions about Niall and I If you think we’re datin that’s nice If you don’t then alright cool It’s my PRIVATE life.”

She added:

“keeping my private life private no ones business but my own.x”

She hit out at haters writing:

“You look all you want. Doubt you’ll ever get to me. You’re tweets don’t scare me. But If your parents knew what you said..”

“You may not think I’m on but I am ALWAYS on Reading everything you say to me Good And bad 😏”
